The core reason for establishment of Balochistan Liberation Front (BLF) has always been to reinstate the separate Baloch identity and regain motherland’s sovereignty from the occupier Pakistan. With its establishment, BLF, along with armed struggle, began to create political and ideological awareness about the Baloch nation and has endeavored to bring Baloch people from all walks of life together to join the armed struggle, so that the masses consciously, politically and ideologically get involved in the resistance. Because, the struggle for independence is impossible without the participation of masses.
On the fundamental principle of freedom for occupied Balochistan, BLF is educating the Baloch nation to be ideologically and politically aware. Ideologically motivated BLF fighters, along with armed resistance are expanding the independence struggle with political awareness across Balochistan.
Baloch nation is now destroying the occupying Pakistan state’s army and responding in a befitting manner to their parliamentarian tools, death squads, religious extremists including countering the occupying state’s propaganda machinery and its fake narrative.
Organization’s fundamental principle is to ensure vetting and educating BLF fighters enough so that the weapon in their hands must remain a weapon in the hands of a revolutionary and their steps may never sway defending motherland.
Today, across the length and breadth of Pakistan-occupied Balochistan, BLF’s brave fighters are present on the ground with their revolutionary weapon in defense of their country against Pakistan’s regular army and other security forces. Certainly, fighting on various fronts at once against Pakistan Army, federalists, local agents, informers, death squads, drug dealers and religious extremists is difficult. But at every given moment, BLF fighters are sacrificing their lives and vigorously leading the Baloch national struggle on the principles of the organization towards the ultimate goal.
Balochistan Liberation Front (BLF) is the embodiment of its martyrs and nation’s unaccounted for sacrifices and if God wills, the struggle, with the organization’s principles and values will soon reach the destination.
During the third quarter of 2020, twenty (20) lethal attacks were carried out on Pakistani forces. More than sixty one (61) soldiers were killed and dozens more injured. BLF destroyed seven Pakistani military vehicles while eight BLF fighters embraced martyrdom defending their mother land.
Martyrs of Balochistan Liberation Front (BLF)
“We pay homage and offer tributes to martyrs Abdul Hameed, Sabir Baloch and Anwar Baloch. On July 5, during a journey in Gresha area of Khuzdar district, the Pakistani state backed death squad and the BLF fighters came face to face and a skirmish erupted in which three of our fighters were martyred,” the BLF said in its quarterly report for July-September 2020.
Martyr Lieutenant Abdul Hameed (alias Shahzeb is son of Noor Jan of Bedreng Gresha), Martyr Sarmachaar Sabir Ali Baloch (alias Muheem is son of Sawali of Gresha Gumbud) and Martyr Sarmachaar Anwar Baloch (alias Javed is son of Sharif of Mashkay, Kahndari). All three martyrs were serving in the BLF’s armed platform for Balochistan’s struggle for independence.
The BLF fighters were on their way from Loop area in Gresha when they were attacked by the Pakistani state backed death squad. During this clash, the other BLF revolutionaries managed to escape safely and also inflicted damage on the enemy.
The death squads are involved in robberies and killings across Balochistan. However, many of them have been identified in different areas and soon the BLF fighters will teach them a lesson for committing atrocities on the Baloch people under Pakistan Army’s instructions.
Second Lieutenant Zahoor Ahmed Baloch Martyred
“We pay homage to Zahoor Baloch one of our brave fighters who was martyred during a mission. On August 27, 2020 Second Lieutenant Zahoor Ahmed (alias Ishaq Baloch, son of Sabzal Baloch, resident of Gwash Awaran) was swept away in a flash flood due to heavy rains while returning from the mission, due to which he was martyred. The martyred fighter has been carrying out his responsibilities from the platform of BLF since 2013, rose to the rank of Second Lieutenant and laid down his life for the defence of the land. Appreciating his services, the organization pledges to carry out its mission of independence (Azad Balochistan) and assures to achieve the ultimate goal,” BLF said in its quarterly report for July-September 2020.

Their martyrdom came as the Pakistani military has been conducting military operations in the area for the past two weeks. A large-scale military operation was conducted in Raaghey, Gichak and surrounding areas. In this operation, violating the laws of war, the occupying Pakistani forces targeted the civilian population with gunship helicopters. Meanwhile, the homes of many ordinary Baloch had been set on fire and livestock have been looted,” BLF said in its quarterly report for July-September 2020.
